Links Design Basics
Link content
It is a good idea to give links meaningful names. Links to a page are considered by search engines, with the words used for the link being associated with the page. A link like;<a href="http://kludge.psychopixi.com">Kludge - Web Design Tutorials</a>
is much more meaningful than one which simply says 'here' or 'click', even if the content around it explains what it is.
Link style
Because you can give different styles to links in different states, you should check the way they look in different places in those states. Changing the font style or size, or adding filters like blur, can change the size of the piece of text, which may move other elements around the page.You should also bear in mind the same style ideas as for text.
